   • Foxing with the ALL NEW HIKMICRO Stel...  

Foxing kit list basic budget:
Rifle (look at second hand Howa’s in .223, .243 or .22250 calibers) with a tilt/swivel bipod. Also it’s important to have it fitted with a sling. This makes it easy to carry when going to and from the field. 
Day scope with a base mag starting at 4 ideally so you have a good field of view up to 20ish times is perfect. Or a day/night scope such as an Alpex/ATN or older pulsar units. These can all be found on selling sites on Facebook for example. 
Sticks such as the primos trigger sticks are great. Those and the Lamping torch can be found in the Team Foxer Amazon shop here:

Foxing Kit the best kit for the job, money not being to much of an issue:
Rifles such os the AI or Blazer brands in the same calibres as above. But equally Sako and Tikka rifles are brilliant.
Thermal Scope HIKMICRO Stellar SQ50, held on with quality mounts such as Warn or even Tier one mounts.
Spotting with the HIKMICRO Falcon or Raptor spotters.
Shooting off a carbon tilt/swivel bipod and sticks such as the Rekon CT3DH from Scott Country International.
Caller from Best Fox Call would still be the icotec GC500.

Other very useful kit:
Head torch = Olight Perun 2 with the Seeker 3 as a back up.
Deer Hunter soft shell jacket for warmth, plenty of pockets and its nice and quiet.
Some latex gloves
Lens cleaning cloth
Odepro KL52 torch with the red pill in just for when you need to confirm that blob you think might be a fox,
Mouth caller from best fox call (original reed mouth caller)
